In Hickory, time slows down as the clock counts down and you must complete tasks to prevent the slowing of time. Also, the game takes place in a clocktower!

This is just beautiful. I'm stunned at how cohesive it feels in literally every department. I have no comments.
You guys should really feel proud of yourselves! I loved every second of this experience.
We were all so exhausted by the end, so much time was dedicated towards QA and less noticeable details. Thank you so much for the kind words and hearing you say that made our day :)
I love every single aspect of this game
Amazing
Amazing music and overall polish. I loved the main character and animations.
Very very very polished game! Everything is so well done! Amazing music and visuals, also like the small BTS look inside the developing!
What a great game, music is so well done, i tried to do a similar clock themed instrumentation but yours came out so nice! Very inspiring!
wonderfully intense gameplay which AMAZING music. everything is tactile and it feels so good to be able to speed through the tasks once you know how to do them. it's also crazy how quickly yall managed to get this done x3
We're super grateful to our musicians, Ben was also in a completely different timezone! Thanks so much for the kind words and I'm really happy you had fun!!
hehe! Thanks :3 Ben and I worked hard on it.
Amazing work everyone!!! Beautiful art and music, and super fun to play! A very creative take on the theme.
It's so well polished, I'm blown away!!
Thank you for the kind words!! We had so much fun just creating a little world in just a few days :)
Amazing game! I was having so much fun playing, I just wish it was a bit longer
Haha yeah we do too. 96 hours is longer than GMTK was once upon a time but it's still a pretty short jam. We had a lot more content planned but couldn't quite get around to finishing it in time :(
We're glad you enjoyed it though!
Not my cup of tea but such a beautyful game!
I know you had a lot of people working on this but dang it seems like a game that was worked on for a year.
Most of us have been working together for a while now so we've got our strategies and working styles down pat! We were working with a new artist this time around though so a huge learning experience for everyone involved to make something cohesive! We're really happy with how things turned out so we're glad to hear that others think the same!
The soundtrack is amazing, the rats behaviour was a little iffy, but overall one of the best games in this jam
The rats are finicky! Their pathfinding and tuning was rather difficult and we would've loved more time to get them feeling better but alas, jams are tight productions!
I'm glad you enjoyed the game! Please do check out the soundtrack on SoundCloud if you enjoyed it a lot!
My favourite of the jam so far!
The art is so cute, the soundtrack is truly stunning and i really like the concept and theme.
Blown away by the level of polish the team managed to reach in just 4 days
Amazing. Everywhere! Congrats!
Really nice! The game was tuned surprisingly well. Usually these kind of games are either boring or finicky and frustrating.
Thank you!! It was so hard to balance this game and it took a lot of testing, I'm really happy you enjoyed it!
Beautiful game, super polished. I thought the slowdown mechanic was really awesome to see in there.
I thought that mechanic would've been easy on paper but it took surprisingly long to tune it right and make it feel good, haha. Thank you for the kind words and so glad you had a good time!
All around amazing game
Beautiful Art, amazing coding, the ambiance is just amazing, the music fits perfectly, and the gameplay is cool (maybe a little hard). One of the best games of this jam! Congrats, team!
Graphics look beyond good. Insane how this was made is 4 days!
Great FTUE, very enjoyable art style and music. The puzzles could be more varied but the time pressure with the unwinding was done great.
Thanks for checking it out! We had a lot more planned for the puzzles, both in terms of variations for the existing games but also introducing new ones but alas, scope creep got in the way! Glad you had a good time!
